Anyone rescheduled a rescheduled wedding?

Debby, on January 17, 2021 at 3:45 PM Posted in Planning 0 8
I’m looking for advice on how to/if to reschedule a wedding that was already rescheduled due to COVID. My husband and I legally got married (eloped in Vegas) on the day we were supposed to get married and moved all our wedding plans to a year after, planning on a one year vow renewal and wedding reception. Well, it feels like that won’t even be a possibility due to COVID still. I don’t want to ask people to get together it’s not safe and it doesn’t like like herd immunity/vaccine is going to happen this year. Even a micro wedding seems risky and honestly not that fun because there’s still restrictions lol
My question is, should I reschedule again for 2022 or just say F it and take our losses (a couple thousand). If you’ve rescheduled a reschedule, how long did you put it out for and how did you tell people? Thanks!!

    I think now it’s too early to say. I would wait and see. Maybe decide 2-3 months before the your date. Vaccine will be distributed and people in my area are eager to make an appointment. My friend spent 4 hours trying to call in order to make an appointment for her parents. I think by summer, most people who wants the vaccine would get it by then. Crossing my fingers.

    Unfortunately, we are part of the rescheduled rescheduled wedding club. We got engaged in December 2018 and decided to have a two-year engagement. Set the date for November 2020. Obviously, because of Covid, we had to postpone to November 2021. Now, like you, we don’t foresee things being normal enough by then to have the fun, carefree wedding we envisioned. Soooo we just rescheduled for the second time to November 2022. It was a major bummer (and surprise!) having to reschedule a second time. We never imagined things could actually be worse a year after the beginning of the pandemic! We both only plan to do this once though, so we did not want to miss out on having the wedding of our dreams (which did not include a reduced guest list, masks, social distancing, no dancing, etc.). I think if you both want to have the celebration you have been planning, then you absolutely deserve to have it! if it’s not possible to safely have that celebration this year, then I would push it out to the end of next year. The first time we postponed, we sent out change the date magnets. This time, we just text everyone and let them know LOL We may end up doing new save the dates later though. Haven’t decided on that yet.

    I mean at this point, if you are this worried, you might as well just say F it and cut your losses and use the rest of your money saved up to buy a boat or house or something. From what they’re saying the vaccine isn’t 100%, so I don’t see any of these restrictions going away anytime soon unfortunately. It’s definitely a personal decision to make, but I feel as though if you’re extremely worried about it and rightfully so, how on earth will you enjoy your wedding day knowing that there’s a possibility even when people have the vaccine. Good luck

    It’s a little too early to tell but I definitely wouldn’t make a final decision right now.

    Ugh dealing with a similar situation! We were supposed to get married last April but had to reschedule. Tried for an August date which still didn't happen so we rescheduled AGAIN for a year from our original April date and now we're not sure what to do. We've already paid for the venue and family even paid an extra $700 for us to reschedule the second time. If we could afford to lose a few thousand dollars like that we'd probably cut our losses but I think we'll probably end up just cutting the guest list and having masks. We'll do a vow renewal when everything [hopefully] settles down and do everything big then when it can be done safely. Good luck to you and all of us trying to get married safely during this shitshow!

    We are now on our FOURTH wedding date! April 2021 is happening or we cut our losses. Enough is enough for us.

    Thats where we've been as well! I said if April doesn't work out then we cut our losses and elope on a mountain. Right now we're moving forward with plans and making adjustments for covid and just hoping for the best come April.
